He's certainly good at swaggering... a pretty important skill for being Freddie.

He sure can swagger. Being a pirate fan myself, I'd like to see him mix pirating with Rock n' Roll, something he tried to do for POTC with his Keith Richards impression. I wonder if he will really though, the Sun isn't the most reliable paper I've ever read
